Higan is an open source multi-system emulator that origianally started out as bsnes, a response to innacurate SNES emulators and shoddy ROM hacks. Currently only the cycle-accurate bsnes emulator is the only thing worth using out of higan. Higan emulates:

NES/Famicon
SNES/Super Famicon
GameBoy
GameBoy Color
GameBoy Advance
Nintendo DS

Review

The bsnes core is the only one worth using in Higan. The others are very early in development.

Some recommend using bsnes core in RetroArch to get around some less-user friendly implementations of Higan.
